Metaru shook his head, tilting it slightly to see the clone. The fire then engulfed him. Seconds later, a metal arm, red hot, reached out and dispersed the Mitsuaki just standing there, then pulled back in, only to jut out and block the flames coming from Mitsuaki's mouth, deflecting them in other directions.

"Nice try, but the shadow clone technique requires some skill to pull off, and being a genin, I doubt you have it. So, that means the one pulling off ninjutsu techniques is the real you, the other just a bunshin. That was a good attempt though. Metaru then brought his other arm, his whole body being coated in steel, aiming to punch Mitsuaki in the face.

Magnetic Release: Iron Body Technique [Kinzokuton: Tetsu Hada no Jutsu]Type: Rank C, SupplementaryDescription: Using his magnetic chakra, Metaru will mold his metal plate around his body, using a large majority of it. This coating makes it appear as if Metaru were simply a statue, however he can still move by using his control over the metal. This creates an armor for him that is not only quite resistant and a good defensive tactic, the armor also aids in hand to hand, and allows Metaru to charge through practically anything given enough momentum. Though useful, this technique has many weaknesses.

Mitsuaki just move quickly to the left so the impact off the punch has less afective than full damage to the face. After flying several meters, Mitsuaki crashed himself into a strong tree and fall on the floor by after. He stands with difficulty but sees that Metaru was charging for him. As fast as he can, he move behind the tree and used the byakugan to see him approched.

Metaru moved towards the nin, seeing him duck behind the tree. Moving up to is, he grabbed it with a hand, tearing into the bark, then pulled upwards, uprooting it, the roots near Mitsuaki's feet being pulled from the ground. Holding the tree above him, Metaru smirked from within his armor. Being the largest member of Akatsuki and lugging around nearly five-hundred pounds everyday, made him the physically strongest member of Akatsuki as well. With his own strength he was able to perform remarkable feats, when he fueled that with his chakra, things got intense.

"Were you expecting me to go around that?"

He then tossed the tree, crashing it through the woods in Mitsuaki's direction.

Metaru sighed again, noting how Mitsuaki had used the same blunt attack style. His armor was already quite hot though, and if he received another direct fireball, it would probably melt. So it was time for a new tactic. As the fireball approached, a bottle popper open on Metaru's back, gallium pouring out and floating into the air above him. His armor then leapt off of him, creating a large steel ball, that hit the ground in front of the Akatsuki nin, and started rolling. The gallium was then added, whereupon it coated the ball, which was easily six feet high now, protecting it from the flames. Though the balls movement was slowed by the force generated from the fire, it kept rolling, soon it would be on top of Mitsuaki.

Magnetic Release: Big Ball Bullet [Kinzokuton: Kyobo-ru Tama]Type: B rank, OffensiveDescription: For this technique, Metaru first throws his disk into the air, turning it into a large ball of metal. He will then compact as many other metals possible onto it, making the ball as large as possible, letting the core remain his own chakra imbued metal. Then, as the ball hits the ground, he will begin to control it using magnetic fields, rolling it through and over whatever he may need to. The size of the ball is directly proportional to the materials at hand.

((The gallium is also in my profile under weapons, if you need to check up on it.))

Leaping from branch to branch, Metaru guided the giant bowling ball, having fun as Mitsuaki ran. Quietly, he muttered to himself.

"I seriously hope he's running because he has to, as opposed to running because he's scared. If this kid's a pansy I'm training somebody else." Glancing away for a moment, he saw a puff of smoke, then a figure falling out of it.

"Oh for christ's sake." Metaru landed, stretched out a hand and looked as if he were about to lean onto mid-air, the ball stopping and catching him. After it did so, he reformed to it's appropriate counter parts, his large metal disk and gallium reserve, letting Metaru stand by himself. Looking down, he thought for a moment.

"Might as well take you to Nozomu, he can give you some of his chakra."

Metaru picked up the rock, which weighed just as much as Mitsukai did, making it unusually heavy for it's size. Walking out of the forest, he tossed the rock to Nozomu, "It's Mitsuaki, heal him and wake him up."

the rock hit nozomus head and as usual he landed face first. " jeez. no need to throw him." his skull was cracked but he ignored it as he canceled Mitsakus jutsu and laid him against some moss. then he took out a vial a tube some salve and bandages. "itll take a few seconds." he forced the tube down the kids throat an when he got to th3e two splits where it reaches the stomach he poured the chakra liquid into the tube. then he dressed mitsakus wounds and with a needle, woke him up.

Metaru spoke up at this point, leaning against a nearby tree behind the two.

"He can only teach you defensive jutsu... Besides, with how quickly your chakra reserve was depleted, it looks like you need to work more on the jutsu you have first, in order to be able to use them more, then we'll add another one to your arsenal."
